A system for detecting a broken or missing grain paddle of an elevator of a combine harvester includes a sensor positioned to either directly or indirectly detect a presence of grain paddles of the elevator, and output signals based thereon. The system also includes a controller that is configured to receive the signals output from the sensor and determine the occurrence of the broken or missing grain paddle as a function of the signals transmitted by the sensor.
